加拿大安大略省一名患有胃癌與失智症的83歲老婦,在未獲明確同意下接受了醫療協助死亡(MAiD)程序。
安樂死計畫再度引發巨大爭議。加拿大安大略省患有胃癌的83歲老奶奶史特格曼(Brigitte Stegemann),今年 7 月於照護中心接受安樂死(醫療協助死亡,MAiD)離世。然而家屬指控,奶奶生前因宗教信仰早明確拒絕安樂死,且還被診斷出失智與認知功能衰退,醫療團隊卻趁家屬不在場時重開評估,甚至在老婦臨終前完全沒同意的情況下硬推程序,最後死亡。加拿大當地相關單位目前已成立專案小組展開刑事調查。
綜合外媒報導,史特格曼原本住在安大略省地區坎尼夫頓(Cannifton)的「珍珠照護中心」(The Pearl care home)。長期照顧奶奶的克蘭倫當克(Brigitte Kranendonk)透露,奶奶先前被診斷出胃癌時,就曾因虔誠的基督教信仰,明確拒絕透過安樂死結束生命。
然而今年 6 月,當時克蘭倫當克與丈夫展開為期 10 天的旅行,並與奶奶入住的「珍珠照護中心」保持聯繫。旅行即將結束前,她突然接獲通知,指照護中心打算為奶奶安排 MAiD 評估。克蘭倫當克返家後質問護理師是誰發起討論,對方卻態度強硬稱「只是想做對她最好的事」。
孫女進一步發現,在她旅遊期間,奶奶已經完成了第一次安樂死諮詢,且心智狀況在評估過程中嚴重吃力,連家族成員問題都無法答對。而在孫女親自陪同的第二次評估中,醫師使用「給妳藥物後就不會再拉肚子」等模糊字眼解釋,即便孫女現場提醒「奶奶根本聽不懂」,醫師仍單方面判定奶奶符合資格,並拍板推進程序。
就在執行程序前兩天,克蘭倫當克直白詢問奶奶是否知道預定程序代表將會死去,奶奶隨即當場哭泣並直呼「我犯錯了」。儘管醫師曾稱奶奶能在當天選擇拒絕,但克蘭倫已不確定到底實情為何,也不希望給奶奶壓力,只能盡力陪奶奶度過最後時光。
到了 7 月 10 日執行當天,負責靜脈注射的護理師因未戴手套且多次扎針失敗,導致現場「血跡斑斑」。隨後醫師走進房間進行最後確認時,奶奶閉著雙眼一動也不動、完全沒有任何語音或動作回應,但醫師僅說了一句「好,那我準備開始執行」,便在 10 分鐘內將其宣告死亡。
克蘭倫當克坦言,她很遺憾當初沒有申請法律禁制令來阻止安樂死執行,但當時她並不知道自己有這個選項。她目前已向當地相關單位申訴,要求調查過程是否合法。
